Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at people who need a good giggle and people who like their stories at full throttle. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. Shelve it next to The Naked Gun.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 1 hr 36 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
To keep the band together, Selly tries to earn money by making an appearance at the birthday party of a mobster's daughter - until he gets kidnapped.
